Very. The problem seems to me to be that you have not set out the issue you wish to address with sufficient clarity. And I think that if you were to d...
No, what was true changed; the truth didn't. What you are suggesting in the OP remains unclear, but... There is a difference between the nature of tru...
My family tree is "actual". It'll be true, or it'll be false, whether you are able to verify it or not. Truth doesn't care what you believe. or why. T...
But I don't think you do. Any truth can be set out in a statement. It is the statement that is context dependent, not it's truth. Is truth always cont...
It's sentences that are true or false. What a sentence says is dependent on it's circumstances (context, language, purpose, consequence, and so on) He...
I don't see why. Here's a recent photo of Sir Les: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/06/19/06/44414949-9703181-image-a-10_1624079389923.jpg Looks like...
Breakfast was just toast. Topped with smoked salmon. The mustard cress, parsley, a thinly sliced radish and a poached egg, and thyme, these last items...
So chard, tomatoes, zucchini, separately fried, with scrambled eggs and tarragon for wife, a cheese omelette for myself... and grated carrot, just bec...
The myth of the self? I suspect that there are things such as money, mortgages, governments, schools, and selves. All of 'em, defined recursively by "...
Well, I think that framing of internal and external approaches as problematic, along the lines of the private language argument. The most direct probl...
Russell set Kant's objection out much more clearly. this is an oversimplification, but... Existence is taken as a second-order predicate. First-order ...
Rather, the origin of those criticisms of LLMs are in Searle's Chinese Room and subsequent writings, the guts of which are that LLMs cannot have inten...
Cool. Like G=df{Frank, the North Pole, electrotherapy}? A list of items? That assumes that picking out an individual is transparent; that "frank" refe...
The "response is oriented by the supervisor", sure, use that wording of you like. The chat bot does not have intent. It presents arguments that are in...
SO I asked ChatGPT what it wants. Its repy: It has no desires, and more generally, no intentionality. The goal it provides is a piece of PR spin, prog...
It's in the physics. Beat just enough milk or cream into the eggs so that the mixture is homogenous - it will depend on how fresh they are. Too little...
While I agree, the Tortoise would presumably disagree, since he said something quite the contrary to Achilles. And I think there are plenty of Achille...
Nine. So let's take that head on. I have defended Davidson's take on Tarski's definition of truth; that the closes we can get to a definition of truth...
Definitions are objects? I don't understand what that might mean. Do you mean that all definitions specify sets? But we can define lists and multisets...
And where does that go? Here's a definition of the set G: G=df{Frank, the North Pole, electrotherapy}. These items form a set, but perhaps not in virt...
Yeah, that was what I was wondering. There isn't one direction to go in, but multiple paths. My apologies, I've lost he thread here. It gets very comp...
A pleasure, and the least I could do after you saved Heidegger’s Downfall from the dumpster. Some more semi-pointless trouble making should easily get...
